“I want to come here and show everyone what I can do, and then obviously the long-term goal is to get back in the England squad as well.

“I’ve played quite a few [Premier League] games now, and I want to come here and show the experience I’ve gained in the past.”

Another important aspect of the move was the style of play Fulham currently utilise. Obviously the closer the playing style is to Arsenal’s, the more likely it is that the loan will help a player prepare for their parent club’s first team. Chambers thinks Fulham fit the bill perfectly.

“Everyone can see that Fulham’s a club that likes to play football, play football from the back, through the lines,” he said. “That’s the style of football I like to play as well, so I think it fits me and suits the way I play.

“I watched a lot of Fulham last season, I really like the way they play football, there’s a good manager, it’s a great club, so I’m really excited for the season ahead.”

We’ll have to wait and see whether Chambers can nail down a spot in the starting eleven, but as he’s just one of 12 new signings for The Cottagers, he has his work cut out for him.
